The second sees reason as embedded within complex traditions: rationality is what a given tradition or community takes it to consist in (cf. MacIntyre 1988; communitarianism).
Am I looking for excuses not to change, by painting my failings as too mysterious and complex for mere rationality to address?
The complex notion of rationality is intimately tied to requirements of consistency, justification, warrant and evidence for beliefs.
More sophisticated accounts of an economic rationale for rule-following rely on more complex models of bounded rationality.
Governmentality is a complex process through which rationalities based on notions of scientific truth, state sovereignty, economic calculations, and of the governed themselves, are in a perpetual state of overlap and struggle (Foucault 2010, 313).
To explore the dynamic stability of the two AChE/inhibitor complexes and to ensure the rationality of the sampling strategy, the time-dependent RMSD values of the complex backbone atoms were calculated from the X-ray crystal structure of AChE during MD trajectories of 10 ns.
Agiza et al. [5] studied the complex dynamics in a bounded rationality duopoly game with a nonlinear demand function and a linear cost function.
Furthermore, orthodox consumer economics assumes buyers make compensatory trade-offs between different product characteristics; this approach ignores problems caused by bounded rationality that, in complex choice environments, leads buyers to formulate simplifying heuristics such as hierarchical (non-compensatory) preferences over characteristics.
Few today would hold that material processes are incapable of producing complex phenomena such as language and rationality, and indeed our understanding of 'the material' has changed dramatically since Descartes' time.
We designed and constructed a high fidelity agent based model (ABM) using the socio-ecological framework that reduces social system uncertainty by capturing complex behaviors using data-driven bounded rationality and feedback.
